Fotoshooting in Umeå

As you all know by now so is my neighbour fotographer =P He had to go to Umeå to do a photojob for a buscompany and needed a modell and some help so he asked me :) I said yes ofc =D The weather was perfect so on wednesday I had to get out early fo fix everything I need and left Spike at my mothers place before we left in the morning.

About two hours later we arrived at the busstation in Umeå and started our work. A lot of things to think about, you have to get permission from every single person who's with on the picture, so they had to fill in a paper. Time was passing really fast but we didn't even do half of the things we had to do the first 2hrs before lunch.

Went to get some chinease food then. Ricke was quite impressed how much I actually can eat, got refill 3times =D No idea where all the food goes but I wont complain ;-)

After that back to work again, a lot of busses, people, different ancgles and so on. Around 4pm did a lot of busses leave so we could take pics with a lot of people, was quite empty in the forenoon but anyway :) People always ask me why I spend so much time with older people and not with them wh are about my age.. This day was such a day when I thought "that is exactly the reason why.." They saw us with the cameras and where just like waving, knocking from the inside of the buss and acting totally childish..

Something past 16:30 were we finally done and it was time to buy some sweets for the trip homewards =D Very foggy though, couldn't see that much but who cares, we had sweets =D Not one cloud the whole day so the evening was really nice as well, passed a lake so we stopped there and took some last pictures for that day, some nice silhouette pics with the last hour of daylight :)

Had one last stop in Åmsele then to get some dinner and you wont believe it, german food and german people!!! =D I was so happy hahahaha. So we had german sausages and talked to the woman working there ;-) Ok, I was the one talking to her =D He didn't understand so much, I guess he was more impressed that I was eating so much again after that lunch ;-)

Hm.. no comment :D

Home something around 8pm and thats where the work actually continued, sitting infront of the computer fixing the pics with lightning, contrast and so on. But that could he fix all by himself ;-) Had a feeling of that I needed some sleep =D
But it was really interesting and exciting to follow, be a modell and help out. Taking pictures is not even half of the job you have to do, and not even half of the pictures you take are good enough to use. Maybe 100 of 500 pictures. Its the work afterwards infront of the computer that takes many hours.

Thanks for a nice day, sometimes you need some diversification inbetween all that study stuff and it was really interesting as well as I already said :)

a wonderful autumn morning

Hada wonderful morning walk with Spike today, he enjoyed running around and loved to follow that duck in the river, hard to hold him though I have to say =P kinda cold, the whole day under 0°, not much but still, had at least around 6° these days actually. Here some pics, enjoy =)

church

kåge church

Its funny, every time I am in a church I feel like I did something wrong, try to look as innocent as possible and am totally quiet =D Just started to think about it on sunday when we were there to photograph ;) I told Ricke and he said "yeah, you look a bit uncomfortable, as if you did something" =D dunno, but yeah, always weird in churches I think :-}

I'm not that religious, well not at all actually, not even grew up with it so dont really have the connection to it.. Only time I go to church is christmas. At my grandmothers place do they have a special church, one of the few with that special organ (Silbermannorgel-if I remember right =D ). So the schol use to play jesus birth, that is the one hour every year I am in church =D

Here in sweden I've been in church the 13. december (my fathers birthday btw :) to watch the Lucia celebration, but with a preschool class I had this time =D

But I have to say that I like the church itself, they use to be really beautiful and fascinating I think :)

here and there =)

okeey, time for another longer update hm? ;-) I use to take the weekends off so that I have something to long for after a week full of study :) On thursday I had some hours off with Johanna, had some tea together and then we used the wonderful weather to go out for a walk with the dogs and gabriel, he was most interested of all these puddles haha =P In the evening did I finish a text I had to do for university and then I went t bed quite early.

 

Friday did I spend with Greger and Gabriel, happy little kid I have to say :) But reading 300 pages about math wasnt so interesting I have to say =P didnt read the whole book that day but still ;) at least I didnt have to do mathtasks haha =D Anyway ;) Had a cosy evening with Spike then and fixed some small things in my flat :)

what is Bitz doing..?

 

Saturday was calm, didnt do that much as far as I can remember =D In the afternoon I went with Ricke to Skellefteå, went first to Daniel, he's got a sickness so his muscles are not really working anylonger, Ricke organized that he could meet his idols so they have been to Stockholm to meet them, a band called EMD. So we left the CD with all the pictures. After that Off to a pub called Old Williams to meet Tomas as well for some food and then off to Kenny. It was his girlfriends 21st birthday so a lot of cake and cookies =D And a really cosy dog, fell directly in love :) ♥
Sunday did I follow to photograph a launching ceremony, the baby made a lot of funny faces, so always a pleasure to watch ;)


So, now its almost monday again, time to study hm :) will do my best this week hehe ;)

kitchen

Yesterday I put some shelves and pics in my kitchen, decorating new and try to use all space :) First I had lunch in nice company then did my mother (who came with all the tools =P ) help me to find the right place to put the shelves on ;-) While we were busy in the kitchen did all the 3 dogs (cosy in my flat =P ) sleep ;)
Was about time and I'm saticfied, still not done yet. So finally space for all the stuff that was standing somewhere insida haha =D And my nice van Gogh picture (Terrasse du café le soir) ;) need actually a frame.. Anyway, some other day =) Still fsr away from done, will even paint the kitchen, its too white, dont like that, i want colours! thought of red in the beginning but I think this will be too much haha =D So I'll go with a light green ;) And then some small red things around :)

Ok then, hard to imagine something sometimes so here some more impressions :) But keep in mind, not done yet =)

some german left ;)

tea!! really important! ;)

Spike and his new bowls :)

studying

Ok, will study hard this week!! I should at least try ;) Dunno, always find something else t do =D But I did much today :) So I'm saticfied. Doing the last reading for compleating my texts, then only two books left that I just have to read beofre next week I'll have in Härnösand in november.

When I cleaned one of my (thousands) handbags did i find money, 90 :- =O Went to a shopping"center" here in norsjö and bought foodbowls for Spike :) Kinda changing my kitchen, its so small and I want to do as much as possible to use every space I have and try to make it look good =)

Spent the weekend with Greger and kids, followd him for some work on saturday, spike ate my pizza the two minutes he had t wait in the car and Becca is totally into mangas so I gave her one of my books how to draw them so that she wont sit infront of the computer all day to watch manga ;-) is getting kinda warm and sunny, nice fall :) But it will rain next week. =( Please no snow yet!! But I checked, last year did we already have the first snow =O

always tasty food :)

long hair :)

I once had long hair but almost every girl is so stupid and cuts it when they're teenager-so did I.. twice!! =P Now I have hair to my shoulders, professional extensions are too expensive =P So I found another way to do it, with clips :) 6parts of different mass of hair (or however you say it now =D ) that you put into your own, some got 4clips, 3clips, 2clips and so on. Really like it, it looks real and matches my own haircolour pretty perfect, it even got some blond highlights :)
Not use to have such long hair and I forgot how much its in your way sometimes but I got over it after some hours :D
Tested my "new" hair going out on friday, went to Skellefteå with my neighbour after I had dinner at my mothers place, she even took care of Spike that night :)
So we first visited his brother, he should actually follow so should some others but in the end it was only him and I =D But ok, we had fun anyway, she showed me some opportunities to go out in the "big" city ;-) I had non alcoholic beer because I was the one driving and I think that Ricke should have done the same, or he should at least have eaten dinner ;) Went to 2 clubs/places, and people where just starring at me :D maybe because of my incredible long hair? :P after that a late second (at least for me =P ) dinner at Max, a fast food restaurant ;) Then back home. He was sleeping in the car =P

Fruit Loops

omg, found them!! My favorite when I was a kid, have never seen them before in sweden but now I found them! yummy! Almost empty though haha, gotta buy more, but kinda expensive ._.

coffeeeee

today I learned how to drink coffe-i hate coffee, I'm much more of a tea person, coffee is so bitter, blä! But I got coffee with much milk and suggar in it, didnt like it anyway, think I will never drink coffee o_o who cares anyway :D but I'll keep on trying, I might like it some day ;)

Otherwise did I spend the day with Greger and Gabriel, went for a walk in this beautiful weather, studied and in the afternoon did we watch Transformers 3, cosy cosy =)

german popcorn

ok, obviously do they eat popcorn only with salt in sweden, unbelieveable?? Well, dunno how it is everywhere else in the world but we eat it with suggar ;) especially nice childhood memories from the circus and movietheater where we had this kinda caramellised popcorn, I do it at home now as well =) so when you put it in the pan with oil you just add suggar as well, really tasty and I got positive reactions =)

winter..??

omg, started snowing here today, not long and its nothing left but it startet SNOWING !! 9.10 and it started snowing.. pretty cold these days as well, around -2° during the night, but sunny days though :)

the week passed pretty fast, didnt even do that much and as always not all of that what I wanted to do but yeah, new week tomorrow ;-) Went a lot to see greger who was sick at home, and you know how bad it is when guys catch a cold ;) no but he really was not that well :)

Friday evening did i spend with Ida, we were drinking wine and having a lot of fun i have to say, it was getting way more funnier with the wine though =P and the cats were creapy o.O as if they were seing ghosts ._.

Saturday was funny (well, actually not at all). Kinda not really sober did I pick up the phone around 9am in the morning (remember, I was drinking the day before -.-). it was my mother, she told me that she had a flat tire on her way to the city, and she was already pretty close so about 30/45min driving.. totally tired I put some close on and ran down to the car, starting to drive like an idiot, couldnt just let her stand there helpless in the middle of nowhere on a saturday morning. My neighbour sent me a message than, he  was wondering why I left that early after drinking the evening before, I told him the story and he ordered me to come back so he would drive cause I wasnt really sober or awake and could have lost my license =P So we went there, helped her and went back again, first i thought about sleeping again but it would have ruined my whole day i guess, so shower made more sense ;-)

Was a sloooow day then, cleaned my flat (I tried, I tried ;) ) got distracted by fb and tv, went out for a wal with spike and in the evening I visited my mother for dinner, watched Lucky luke with terence hill (memorieees ;) ) amd wemt back home again. Had even fun dressing up the dogs, even though finouk was the only one who didnt complain ;)

Sunday started kinda great actually, really nice outside so off for a long walk with spike =) in the afternoon it started to get rainy and cold and not really nice, but I changed my cars tire, now ready (at least the car) for winter ;-) Spike wasnt a great help though =D

Now its time to relax a while before its off to "work" again, a lot to read and write =) See ya guys and have a nice week
